We’re in the thick of summer, and you know what that means… No, not that we’re desperately in need of a 2025 song of the summer at this point, although I am patiently waiting for one of the pop girlies to deliver a bop that unites us all. Summertime heat means things are heating up on the shores of paradise… Bachelor in Paradise, to be exact. That’s right, it’s time for the absolute silliest reality show in all of network television: Bachelor in Paradise. And this 2025 edition marks the show’s 10th season.
For those who have just recently become citizens of Bachelor Nation, please allow me to explain. Bachelor in Paradise brings together Bachelor franchise alums for another chance at love. In the past, that meant former contestants from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette got thrown together on a tropical beach, which is how it’s all supposed to go down again for season 10. The only difference this time is that some of the older contestants from The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette are also thrown into the mix. Everybody’s invited to the beach party this summer, even the oldies.
On top of the addition of the older and (questionably) wiser contestants, Bachelor in Paradise season 10 is also welcoming former Bachelorette Hannah Brown. Her job title is “Paradise Relations,” which will probably be about as legit as Wells Adams’ bartender role, which usually pretty much amounts to him pouring pre-made margaritas from a pitcher. And, of course, Jesse Palmer is returning as the host.
